Losing a key team member can bring strong emotions. Leaders may face challenges with investors, reimagining the future, and comforting the team. Though all deaths are important, losing someone so central can leave a big wound in the professional world.
Key person insurance offers reassurance to investors and can attract new ones.
The payout can help cover costs after the loss.
Job security should not be a concern for your team after a tragedy.
Key person insurance, also known as key man insurance, helps a company when it loses a crucial member. This policy is similar to life insurance, providing money so the company can move forward without that person. The payout can ease investors’ concerns and help find a replacement while others can focus on moving forward.
If a key employee dies, the business may fold due to their crucial role in finances.
Partnerships commonly continue even after one partner’s passing. In such cases, the surviving partner may wish to purchase the departed partner’s share.
If a top salesperson dies, the company’s finances may be seriously affected.

Getting the insurance limit you need may be difficult due to strict guidelines. Companies may face challenges if they are pre-revenue or just starting out and their value and revenue are being considered during underwriting.
Policyholders can choose limits up to $5m, with options for higher limits up to $20m through our connections with traditional carriers.
The policy pays beneficiaries a one-time amount determined before approval. Underwriting is done before policy is effective.
